Due to most of the busses being at maximum capacity, we can only transport students with current bus assignments. Students may only ride on the route they are assigned to. The schools will not issue bus passes to friends.
Any new bus registrations received will take 72 hours to route. You will be called once your child is routed on their bus.
The Transportation Department of Cheney Public Schools is committed to transporting students safely and professionally, to and from school and activities, in order to optimize their educational experience.
-
Have a safe place to wait for the bus, away from traffic and the street. Students should arrive at their stop ten minutes before the scheduled pick up time.
-
When being dropped off, students should exit the bus and walk ten giant steps away from the bus. If crossing the road after leaving the bus or in the morning crossing to get on the bus, always wait for the driver to signal you to cross. Keep a safe distance between you and the bus. Remember that the bus driver can see you best when you are away from the bus.
-
Don't start to board the bus until the driver gives the signal that it's okay to approach the bus.
-
Be aware of the street traffic around you.
-
Once you are on the bus, remain seated and follow the driver's directions. When the driver asks you to do something or to stop doing something, don't make a fuss or talk back, there's a good reason for the request.
Children who walk to school should also follow safety rules:
- Mind all traffic signals and/or the crossing guard.
- Never cross the street against a light, even if you don't see a car coming.
- Walk your bike through the intersections.
- Wear reflective material, it makes you more visible to street traffic.
- Always walk with a buddy whenever possible.
